Hope everyone celebrating pride today has a brilliant day! It's more important than ever that we support our LGBTQ+ community. I'm particularly proud this year of the work that's gone on in Lisburn to support and value our LGBTQ+ community- many firsts were made and long may it…

This govt wastes time discussing "social cohesion" problems then goes out and literally within weeks of coming to power, starts picking on the vulnerable and continued the theme. The inequality in the UK is HUGE. The class divide is HUGE. People are sick of being told by elites…

The same government that saw fit to immediately penalise pensioners, rob family farms, come after disabled people, refuse WASPI women their dues and has hammered small business with national insurance hikes thinks that asking billionaires to pay their fair share is daft. They are…

Hell yes 🙌 😎😎 Getting to drive a big lorry!!! 🚛 🚛 Absolutely brilliant evening at Mid Down & Lisburn District Community First Responders fundraiser at Temple Golf Club! Delighted that Graham, Lynda & the team got such a great turn out! Lovely to meet with Mar-train…

⚠️ Security Alert ⚠️ Church Street Dromore is currently closed due to a security alert and cordons are in place. Further information in due course

All that we are told by the UK Government is that there isn't enough money and everyone must make cutbacks, to think that paramilitary groups would get a single brass penny makes me sick and angry. Typical that out of touch NIO and the great and good all think it's a grand idea…

I don't have the words for what happened in Maguiresbridge, only feelings. Overwhelming sadness, shock and grief. An absolutely unspeakable tragedy. It's difficult to take in such a heinous act, almost unbearable to even think of it.

The genocide in Gaza will only end when the international community comes together with one strong, united voice and says enough to the horrific actions of the Israeli government. The record will show who stood up and spoke out. The international community must act now.

Cast your mind back to the Israeli pager attacks in Lebanon- they've been long forgotten. But children like Ali & Hussein have been maimed, blinded and scarred for life. They have to live like this forever. As I type this, 10 children a day in Gaza lose limbs, a classroom of…

This will impact low paid workers, people in physically/psychologically demanding roles whilst those who are proposing this will probably have never done a day's manual labour in their life, let alone 40 years and will take early retirement based on their well paid jobs.…

As we talk about the contribution of the Open to the NI Economy, spare a thought for the restaurants, pubs & small businesses that made it possible! It's *despite* govt actions that these businesses are functioning at all. The govt need to get off the neck of small biz &…

Yes, why would the UKG bother to do this when they can just keep hammering hospitality and small businesses? Absolutely disgusting. They'll be the same Govt decrying the loss of small businesses & Restaurants....

One of the most beautiful places in Lagan Valley and a real wee wildlife haven 🙏😍 ponies were absolutely gorgeous 😍

I do find some very strange things 😄 So this is a run of stamps released by Royal Mail in 1991 to mark the 9th World Congress of Roses that took place in Belfast in July that year! Nearly to the day, these stamps were released on the 16th July and someone at Roses Lane Ends…

I have signed this letter. It is the absolute least that we can do. How much more slaughter needs to take place before the government will act? It is truly our national shame.

Absolutely right 👏

Just thinking about those children who have been barred from attending a summer sports event because they played GAA. They will obviously ask why they can't go anymore. What will they be told? Whatever form of words is used, the import will be the same- that you are less than,…

I have signed a cross-party letter to the Prime Minister calling for the government to urgently take actions on the proposed national inquiry into grooming gangs. It is absolutely vital that this work is taken forward urgently and with victims & survivors at the heart of it.…

Really can't understand why the Irish Govt havent sorted the issue of 30 odd kids who want to come from an absolutely broken Gaza to simply play gaelic games and to participate in a 2 week event. I really hope a way is found to facilitate this, I don't even want to think about…
